Arrest of One of Rosslyn’s Policy Men —Funeral of an Aged Resi- dent—Other Matters. The demolition of the north wing of the once famous hostelry on 32d street immediately south of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, of late years known as “the White House’ and in the latter part of the eighteenth and the first part of this century known throughout Maryland and Virginia as the Crawford House, has been begun in consequence of the building inspector’s recent condemna- tion. Men were put to work yesterday. The White House was built some time during the latter part of the eighteenth century with brick brought from England. It originally extended across the space now occupied by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal up to the south line of the site now occupied by the old seventh precinct sta- tion house. The destruction of the north- ern wing took place on the cutting through of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, along about the year 1827 or 1828. Hardly had the canal construction gotien under head- way when the cholera plague broke out among the gangs employed. Every availa- ble place In town was given up to the sick, the White House became a hospital. Scores of dying Irishmen, Italians and rep- resentatives of all nations breathed their last in the rooms where Washington, Jef- ferson, Lafayette, Masons and other dig- nitaries had feasted and banqueted. The house became known in its early his- tory as the Crawford, through its propri- etor of that name. Its patrons up to the time of the cholera plague included many of the revolutionary heroes, the country’s early statesmen, George Washington, Parke Custis, Gen. Mason, the mayors of George- town, the aldermen, and, in fact, every- body who was anybody was a patron of the White House. During Lafayette’s stay in this country he could be found there whenever he was in this section and had leisure. The hostelry had many owners in its time. The best remembered, how- ever—those whose names are most closely linked with the place—were Crawford, Per- ry Hoskins, Jim Davis and Jim Holtzman. Jake Kengla and Tony Rodier were among the last wh» ran the place as a hotel. For the past twenty-five years, it has merely been a cheap restaurant and tenement. On he building of the canal the neighbor- hood began to lose its exclusiveness. Now the section is looked upon as the poorest in the West End, being monopolized chiefly by those who earn thelr living on the wharves and water. Gen. Mason's town house, which was then in the ultra fashionable section, was close by. Today it is on the south bank of the canal, rear a great coal heap, and is tenanted by a horde of poor people. When the hostelry was in its glory the Potomac was crossed by ferry from the foot ef the present 32d street to Analostan Island. The Aqueduct and Long bridges had not as yet been constructed. The White House was therefore on the great highway connecting Virginia with Mary- land, and later the District. The house based its reputation on its canvas back duck and terrapin a la Maryland. Philip Barton Key, Daniel Sickles, Bob Auld, Hugh Caperton and Henry Addison were among the last of the place’s best known patrons. Arrest of a Policy Man. Richard Trimble, a policy man, was ar- rested last evening by Officer Bradley, who has been deta‘led from special duty at the President’s country home and instructed to follow up thcse engaged in playing or pro- moting policy. Trimble was taken in near the Aqueduct bridge. Of late he has seen to make daily pilgrimages to Rosslyn, and suspicion fell upon him as being impli- cated in Rosslyn’s greatest enterprise. When things were “dead” against him, he was ar- rested on suspicion. He denied all knowl- edge of the game, but there were tell-tale slips on his person which made a silent but convicting argument. Trimble is a colored man about nineteen years of age. Faneral of an Old Resident. Mr. Anthony Kuhn, one of the oldest of Georgetown’s residents, was buried this morning. Services were held at Trinity, Father Rocecfert officiating. Deceased had reached his eighty-second year. His last illness was of but three days’ duration. The deceased enjoyed remarkable health and en- ergy al his life. Mr. Kuhn was the father of J. O'Reilly Kuhn and the late Mrs. John Archer. He died at his home, 1036 Jist street. Flower Thicves. Complaint ts being made of the theft of large flower plants from the homes of Gecrgetowners. The thieves are said to be two men who go atout in a buggy. A fine white plant has been taken from a P street yard, and various rubber plants from other streets. Most of the plants taken are worth from $2 to $3. Small flower vases, together with earthen pots, are also among the dis- appearing things. Arlington Cattle Market. At the Arlington live stock yards on Monday 2 cattle were up and sold.

Ready Took Some Bricks Used a Sidewalk. John Ready appeared before the Police Court yesterday to answer a charge of rob- bing the District of a section of a sidewalk in Southeast Washington. He is a contrac- tor, who lives in Northeast Washington, and has nearly finished paying for the house in which he resides. Being the owner of two horses and carts, he puts his teams on the public works when he gets an opportunity to do so, and when they are not so en- gaged he does work for private parties. One of his carts was employed on the pub- lic works recently, tut John’s name was not on the pay roll. The gas men had torn up the sidewalk near Georgia avenue south- east, and John helped himself to the bricks. But he got caught, and a charge of theft was entered against Lim. Lawyer Sillers, his counsel, entered a plea of guilty in the case, and suggested that a fine of $20 would satisfy the government. He said that this was John’s first offense, but. John admitted that he had been in trouble once before. That time the ques- tion of taking some cobblestones was set- tled by the court, and Ready said he paid his fine. “But I won't do so any more,” he said to the court. Lawyer Sillers, in asking that the fine be imposed, said he thought Ready had al- ready been punished, for he said he is frightened nearly to death. “It’s a pity he wasn't frightened before he took the bricks,” sald the judge. A fine of $i -vas imposed, and the fine was paid. Jol —_—-—> AMUSEMENTS. Marie Wainwright.—Marie Wainwright will be seen at Albaugh’s all next week in her remarkably successful play, “Daughters of Eve,” a society drama of novel plot and bold design, which has made a sensation wherever it has been seen. Miss Wain- wright will appear in the dual role of twin tisters, who beneath the same appearance hide widely different natures. The oppor- tunities for strong situations in such’ a characterization are obvious. The play is said to contain an abundance of amusing comedy. It has won the highest praise from the principal papers of New York city. Jubilee Singers.—The Jubilee Choir Sing- ers will present one of their unique Sunday night concerts the evening of October 7 at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House. They num- ber twenty people and will give a program of the grand old melodies. Seats are now on sale at box office. These singers have been heard here before, and always with pleasure. At all their concerts they have been greeted by crowded houses, and it is expected that such will be the result on Sunday night. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater._Weber & Fields’ extraordinary aggregation of su- perior vaudeville artists will be the attrac- tion at the Lyceum next week. Every member of this organization is a “star,” standing pre-eminent in their respective lines, every act is a novelty and every name appearing on the program is an in- dividual attraction in itself. Never before has a combiration been formed containing so much real meritorious talent. The com- pany is headed by the popular impersonator of Irish comedy, Miss Maggie Cline, an artist whose imitators cap be counted by the score. Others whose names appear on the roster are, James F. Hoey, better known as “Young Mule;” Leclair and Leslie, ai Usts of marked ability, mimics and come- dians; Falke and Semons, refined musical ards’ Nelson, Levanion and Nelson, the expert acrobat John E. Drew, comedian and dancer; Castellet and Hall, in an origi- nal up-to-date sketch, and Weber and Fields, the German senators. Cc. A. Sampson, the strongest man on earth, has been specially engaged by Man- ager Kernan for an early appearance at the Lyceum. ——__. The Lower Court's Action Affirmed. In the case of the judgment creditors of Joseph N. Parish against Jonas H. Mc- Gowan, trustee, and Emily E. Parish, the Court of Appeals has rendered an opinion affirming the judgment of the court below. The opinion was written by Mr. Chief Justice Alvey. Mr. Justice Morris con- curred in the opinion, but Mr. Justice Shep- ard dissented, his being the third dissenting opinion in the history of the court. The case arose over a contention on the Part of the creditors that Mr. Parish had, in transferring a house and lot to his daugh- ter in 1887, attempted to defraud them. Twelve years before that Miss Parish wished to enter government employment, and her father, in order to induce her to refrain from so doing, promised to give her $0 a month from the proceeds of a claim he had against the government. He gave her $5,000 In 1886, and $2,000 in 1889, out of which she claimed to have purchased the property. It was claimed by the creditors that Mr. Parish was insolvent at the time he made the contract with his daughter, nd they claimed further that the repre- sentations about the purchase of the house were fraudulent. The case was tried be- fore Chief Justice Bingham, and he held that mere suspicious circumstances were not equivalent to proof, and that the fact that Miss Parish was a minor at the time her father made the agreement with her did not vitiate the contract. The majority of the appellate court agreed, however, that the case was not free from doubt, but Mr. Justice Shepard thought that there was a prima facie case of fraud, and disagreed with his associates in placing the burden of proof on th2 creditors. ‘The failure to record the deed of transfer, says Judge Shepard, may have been thoughtless and careless, but it was very much in the line of the wish to “avoid scrapes” with the creditors, es Will Commence Prosecutions. Action of interest to all who use Edison phonographs was taken at the meeting of the board of directors of the American Graphophone Co., held in this city yesterday, It was resolved, in view of the bankruptcy of the North American Phonograph Company, against which sults for infringement of patents, injunction and accounting are now pending, to begin at once prosecutions di- rectly against the retail dealers in the Edl- son phonograph and supplies In the United States and Canada. The patents owned by the Araerican Graphophone Company, it is claimed, give them a monopoly of all’ prac- tical talking machines and cylinders for records. The first sults will be instituted in New Jersey and Massachusetts, —_—_s___ The Late Mary Sheahan’s Will. The will of the late Mary Sheahan, dated September 27, 1804, has been filed. The household furniture of the deceased is given to her daughter, Katie Agnes Sheahan; also five shares in the Home Building Associa- tion, seventh series, and five shares of the eighth series.

Out of each of the son's shares $20 are to be paid to Joseph Sheahan, a grandson. The store of the deceased, at 917 26th street, together with the stock, fixtures, herse and wagon, fs given to Timothy and James Sheahan, her sons. FREE BATHING BEACH Superintendent “Stevens Suggests Some Repairs and; Improvements. Knights of Pythias Saved the Institu- tion From bos This Year—More Dressing Reoms Needed. In @ communteatien to the Commission- ers relating to ghe bathing beach Superin- tendent W. X. Stevens says: Your order authorizing me to obtain do- nations for repairs. of the bathing beach and to run it for this season is dated June 22, 1894. Officer Cotter spent five days so- citing donations, and in that time ob- tained $65, as against $200 last year. People who had given freely in previous years said they had done so because they thought by keeping the beach open its necessity would be proven so that Congress would appropriate funds necessary to maintain it, but after two years’ trial and no appro- priation, they thought that if it had to be closed for want of appropriation a gen- eral public howl would wake up Congress to its duty in this matter; therefore, very many people who were well disposed to- ward the beach refused to give as individ- uals, while they were more than willing that the whole sum asked for should be appropriated out of their taxes. In the month before the beach was opened the papers had published seven cases of bath- ers drowned in various parts of the city, but in the three months that the beach has been opened I don't think there have been four bathers drowned anywhere in the city. The beach was closed the 30th of Septem- ber. There was not one bather drowned this year who registered on our books. One colored boy, who was refused entrance be- cause he could not swim and had no one to be responsible for him, stole in on the colored premises and was drowned. Our boatman saved the lives of nineteen this year as against twenty-seven last year. The proportion for last year is one saved in one thousand bathers. For this year it is one saved in one thousand five hun- dred and eighty. I attribute this favorable decrease in accidents to the growing fa- miliarity of boys with the water. The mother’s darlings who are never permitted to go near the water are the very ones that occasion us most anxiety. They are in more danger than others be- cause they try tc do things that boys fa- miliar with water know better than to try. An army officer who comes often to bathe sald: ih rigid restriction of chil- dren by over-careful parents is an unpar- donable sin.” Order at the beach has been extremely good. There is improvement in this respect each year. When the bathers become familiar with the management they see that our constant aim is to permit the greatest possible fredom to each individual within the limit of safety to the whole and absolute propriety in the presence of ladies, and hundreds yield quickly at a word from the officer in charge. The number of col- ored bathers has been too smail to make the fractional percentage worth figuring. The proportion of lady bathers has greatly increased this year, and every one has expressed herself as highly pleased at the order and propriety which prevail at the beach, and with the accommodations of- fered them in our stringent circumstances. The ladies’ houses have been filled by them, two in a rocm, and houses usually allotted to gentlemen have been assigned to them in c1 times. By the word ladies I mean ali that that word expresses in America. I do nat know of one female of questionable charaeter having bathed at the beach this year. Very much more than the $65 collected’ by Officer Cotter was ex- pended on repaigs, and the little donations received later, slong with the regular re- ceipts, would’ hardly have paid expenses, including boatman and attendant, had it not been for our mear neighbors of one week, the Pythian encampment. They brought no bathing suits with them and our men’s suits were not permitted to dry in four days of that week. This brought in $100 and insured me against loss. In the District appropriations bill of this year is an item of $1,000 for care and maintenance of the bathing beach. That bill was passed too late to make the money available this season, and as you have asked me to suggest how, in my opinion, it can be expended before July next to the best Interests of the District, I will say, first, that as'a result of experience I favor the expenditure of the full amount in facilities for the e¢commodation of ladies and the better class of men bathers, none of it for salaries. All under sixteen have been accommodated free, and in very crowd- ed times, the last hour of hot evenings, six at a time have often used one room, Older ones pay 6 cents each, and four grown men have sometimes accepted one room rather 3 3 3 106 Wall st...

The ig ones come later and we it =o co caret pe hour’s receipts, inclal ge portion of ones at the same ie. To end I recommend that fifty new houses alt and that thirty-six houses be mm the south to the north end; and that a high fence be made to inclose the whole and ex- tend to the water at the north end to keep oe thieves who hide in the tall we and creep in when not watched. That another small office be built for store room, etc., as the present one is very much crowded. That the buildings be repaired and inted. That a scowload of sand be added at muddy points on the beach. That the wharves be repaired, and that a new life boat be purchased. The present boat is almost worn through the bottom and is not worth much repairing. It only cost us $10 and we have had it in use two seasons. I recomn end that the number of rooms inclosed in the ladies’ apartment be doubled; that the carriage roadway be cleared and leveled to accommodate the greatest pos- sible number on the bank, and that seats be provided for five hundred spectators. In this latter respect I think that there are as many seats as we would reauire now in store and idle, which have been removed from the and I think the general government would loan them to us at your request. This would add greatly to the Neatness of the premises and furnish ac- commodations for the very large number of respectable people who are daily specta- at the beach, enjoying the pure air from the water and the sport of the bathers. I recommend the same schedule of fees a3 that now in vogue, with the addition that the payment of 10 cents extra shall entitle any one to the exclusive use of a room for an hour, and that the payment of 26 cents for a single-piece suit shall in- clude the use of a single room. This will give great satisfaction to a large class of people who prefer to pay for an exclusive privilege. Finally, I recommend that the improvements above enumerated be begun early next spring, and be completed so that the beach may be open to the public at the middle of May, 1895, particularly in view of the seven drownings which occurred be- fcre the opening this season. I cannot too highly express my thanks to the press, who e candidly and carefully considered the facts in all publications about the beach, ——.——_.
