ESTIMATES FOR THE NEXT YEAR President Falls Calls Attention to the Institution's Needs. EXPENSES LAST YEAR The board of trustees of the reform school have submitted their annual report to the Attorney General. The report is signed by Mr. 8S. J. Falls, president of the board of trustees, and contains the following: “Pursuant to the law, I have the honor to respectfully submit herewith the twenty- fifth annual report of the board of trustees of the reform school of the District of Co- lumbia. From the date of the organization of the school, twenty-five years ago, up to and including the fiscal year of 1894 there have been received at the school 1,919 boys. At the commencement of the last fiscal year there were 204 boys at the school; 121 were received there during the year, mak- ing a total population of 325, as against 289 for the previous fiscal year. Of those re- celved 71 were committed by the Police Court and 17 by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, 19 by the United States courts outside of the District of Co- lumbia and 14 by the president of the board of trustees. There were discharged during the year by order of the board of trustees 107; by order of court, change of sentence, 1; by expiration of sentence (United States courts), 12; absent without leave, 4—leaving in the school at the close of the last fiscal year, 201. Low Mortality. “No deaths have occurred during the last fiscal year. Since the school was first or- ganized, now over twenty-five years ago, but twelve deaths have occurred, the rate of mortality being less than three-quarters of 1 per cent. This mortality, as we are in- formed, is much less than in any similar institution in the country.” jimates for Fiscal Year. Estimates of appropriations for the next fiscal year are included in the report, and call tor the following: 14,412 support of inmates. + 26,000 Fer new bake oven, inciuding brick building for same.... . For new roofs, and other repairs to a buildings . sees 2,000 For fencing the farm....... boo For painting new family building. hw For new family building; salaries... 1,710 Explaining Figures. The report then goe# on: “Substantially, these are the same ap- Propriations as were asked for the present fiscal year, but none of them were appro- priated for except the regular salaries and for support of inmates. Twenty-six thou- sand dollars was asked for support of in- mates for the present fiscal year, but only $25,500 was allowed. Twenty-six thousand dollars had been allowed for several years when there was a less number of inmates than are in the school at present, and it is more than probable that a defictency to upply these will have to be submitted to Congress uring its present session. “An appropriation of $20,000 was made by Congress for the erection of a new family building to contain fifty, more boys, and $1,200 was appropriated to furnish the same. The building has been compieted and fur- nished, but owing to the failure of Congress at Its last session to make an appropria- tion for the necessary officers, this bulid- remains closed and unoccupied. There are now in the jail and workhouse twenty- five boys under the age of sixteen years, sent there because there is no room for them in the school, and there they must remain until we can occupy this building. The especial attention of Ccngress was called to this. An appropriaticn was made by the House, but for some reason, un- known to the bourd, it was stricken out by the Senate; and until the appropriation is made by Congress for the employment of the necessary officers, this building must remain unoccupied. An estimate is sub- mitted for officers for this building for the next fiscal year, and at the proper time Cengress will be asked to appropriate for this purpose so much as may be necessary during the remainder of the fiscal year after Congress meets. “An appropriation of $10,500 was made at the last session of Congress to replace the barn and cortents, which were destroyed by fire on the Zid of July, 18%. Under this appropriation a contract was made for the reconstruction of the barn, and the build- ing has been completed in a manner most satisfactory to the board of trustees, and the contents of the barn which were de- stroyed, consisting of horses, wagons, har- ness, farming implements, etc., have been replaced. “Owing to the great scarcity of water, caused by the drought of the summer of 18%, the beard of trustees deemed it wise and necessary to sink a large well and erect a windmill to increase the supply of water at the school. By this means a more liberal supply of water has been obtained, which suffices in ordinary times, but on occasions of extremely dry weather the water supply at the school is inadequate. It is hoped that at some future time some arrangement can be made whereby water can be ob- tained through the city’s supply. Money Made. “During the last fiscal year the superin- tendent received and paid over to the treas- urer of the school, who has covered the same into the treasury of the United States in accordance with the law, the following sems of money, and from the sources in- dicated: “Paper box factory, $2,750; sales of farm products, $157.39; greenhousts, $63.10; mis- cellaneous sources, $62.45. Total, $5,U33.74."" Last Year's Expenditures. The report contains the following account of expendtures during the last year: Current expenses: Appropriated for salaries.

Closing Remarks, ‘The report closes: “Again I have to report that, owing t the great drought, our crops will not yield as bountifully as in former years. For two years the school has suffered on this ac- count, not making more than half a crop of everything that has been planted. In spite of these drawbacks and discourage- ments, however, no additional appropria tion has been asked of Congress for the support of the school. “Few changes have been made in the of. ficers of the school during the past year The board of trustees always desire to ob: tain, with the limited means at their dis posal, the best officers they can, and try t. retain them. It is a great disadvantace + té= sohool to frequently change its officers. ‘The present officers have discharged their onerous, responsible and delicate duties faithfully and well, for which they are en- titled to the commendation of the board of trustees. The trustees desire to thank you for the great interest you have taken in the school, and fur your valuable aid and as- sistance, so kindly and generously rendered | i et all times.” THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. ‘WILL RECOVER. Falling 120 Feet Doesn’t Bother Albert Deal. Albert Deal, the steara fitter who fell eleven stories through the elevator shaft at the Cairo flats, on Q street, Saturday afternoon, as published in Saturday's Star, will in all probability recover. The dis- tance he fell is something like 120 feet. Deal remembers the sensations during the few seconds of the fall, which seemed like hours to him. uring the rapid descension the victim of the accident turn- ed several somersaults. At the bottom of the shaft he fell upon a heavy beam with such force that he rebounded several feet and then fell apparently deat. His fellow workmen who heard tae noise made by the fall rusled to the bottom of the shaft to pick up his dead body, but he was on his feet before they reached him. He was unable to staud more than a minute or two, however, and then Le became uncon- ‘set . Dr. Weaver, who responied to a call for assistance, soon restored him to consciousness and he was taken to his boarding house, on 19th street, by a friend. His back was terribly rprained and he may have suffered some internal injuries, although the attending physician thinks he will fully recover. SETAE AS, AMUSEMENTS. Metzerott Hall.—Davenport and Fay will sive an exhibition of manifestations at Metzerott Hall tomorrow night. Both gen- tlemen have been before the public for many years, and have traveled all over the world and appeared before many distin- guished audiences.

Albaugh’s.—The concert given by the Ju- bilee Choir Singers at Albaugh’s last night was attended by a good audience, and the program was thoroughly enjoyed. The sing- ing of these people is such that it touches the hearts of the listeners and elicits the Trost spontaneous applause. They sang scngs of a varied character, but the hymns and the plantation melodies were those that were most appreciated. —_.—__ The Surrender at Yorktown. It is the intention of the District Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to celebrate the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown at Welcker’s on the evening of Friday, the 19th instant, at 8 o'clock.

After an animated discussion by the members of the literary society of the Young Men’s Christian Association on Sat- urday night a resolution reciting that the employment of women in the vocations of life usually filled by men has proved detri- mental to the interests of the general pub- le was decided in the negative. Messrs. L. Cabell Williamson, W. I. Campbell, W. Preston Williamson and W. N. Preston argued in support of the proposition, but the judge, Mr. N. W. Barksdale, decided that the case against it, submitted by Messrs. Fred. E. Tasker, T. Bray and M. Gunderson, was stronger. The debate was preceded by a recitation, “Roger and I,” delivered by Mr. W. N. Wilson. . eS eae The German Celebratt The 212th anniversary of the landing of the Germans in America is being cel3brated by the Germans of Washington today.

Fo ster Medicine Com- pany, Baltimore, Md. 42072 « FPOSOPPSOP OE SOO OPO POSITED 3 ‘AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN House. — Rousing Receptian te Returning Mem- bers of Georgetpwa Patriarchie—A Century Runiang Other Notes. ° A for-some-time suspected house, in Mason- ic Hall alley, openimg om High street, near M, was raided onuSunday morning early and three gamblegs taken into custody. One of them was tlie alleged keeper and is known as Fred. Jenkims. All are colored and boyish in appearance. The raid was a @mplete surprise to the gamblers. When they: realized, however, that it was either hustle or imprisonment there wi @ grand scramble. One man rushed to an upstairs side window and jumpey twenty feet into another yard. He crashed through a grape arbor before he reached the ground, but nothing like this was looked upon as an obstacle to a longer run, and a break was made. A barbed- wire fence was encountered before he had gone five feet, This was partially destroyed through the force of the contact. Then a ten-foot ferce loomed up, but, with agility promoted by fear it was taken to the top with scarcely more than a bound. This brought him to the level of the back building of an M street residence. This he stepped over on and halted for a moment's rest. The way of the transgressor hard, though, and he was shot at by the occupant of the building. He made one more down- ward dash, struck in safety, and then made vate pad ng sane ‘a stretch of back und, final ing. Svrive of the ‘Gamblers escaped. The para- pkernalia was all captured by the raiding officers, Sergt. Volkman, Trussell and oth- ers. Masonic alley is a place where inno- cence does not thrive. It has for a long time been looked upon as a place where iniquity is worshiped. A Centary Ran. The most largely attended century run ever participated in by Washington wheel- men was enjoyed yesterday by the George- town cyclists. Thirty-three men went on the run. Breakfast was had at the club house and the start made at 5:15 o'clock, under command of Capt. Cook. The ride was attended by many little accidents. Tires were punctured, spokes broken and pedals injured. In coming down a hill, B. B. Hunt suffered an injury of the hand and kneecap through the slipping of his handle bar. Frederick was reached, however, in spite of accidents, on schedule time, name- ly, 11:45 o'clock. Dinner was taken on the homeward run, at New Market, seven miles this side of Frederick. The entire run was made in thirteen hours. Hearty Reception. The members of Georgetown Patriarchie, No, 42, returned home frcm Boston, Mass., where they have been attending ‘the meet- ing of the seventh B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The organi- zation was victorious in winning the first prize. Their opponents were from New York and Boston. The Patriarchie’s mem- bers were splendidly entertained while in “the hub,” one of the most enjoyable of their days being spent on the private barge of the mayor of the city, who gave them a grand excursion. A committee of stay-a' homes, consisting of Capt. Wm. Gray and others, with Patriarchie, No. 18, met the returning men last night at the Baltimore and Ohio depot and escorted them to Odd Fellows’ Hall on M street, where a hearty reception was given them. The National Brass Band and the Zagle Drum Corps headed the procession. New Members. Seven new members) were received into the Baptist Church-yesterday at the com- munion, making twenty-two that have re- cently united with this body. The church is making great progress. Pastor G. W.

Hig afternoon subject was “The Tie of Friendship Between Jonathan and David,” and at night, “The Faith of Abraham.” Tearing Down a Historic Structure. Mr. Chas. H. Fickling, who represents Mr. Newman, the owner of the old White House on 32d street, whose north wing was condemned and ordered torn down, has de- cided to level the entive structure. Work- men began its destruction Saturday. The main building is four stories high. Its raz- ing is a precarious task, owing to its age. The bricks crumble at the slightest blow and the timbers are worm-eaten and devoid of all strength.
