AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN The Steamer Florence Came Near Burning Early Today. Many Other News Notes of Interest to People Went of Rock Creek— Canal Notes.| There was excitement on the river early this morning near the foot of 32d street. It was caused by the discovery of fire on board the steamer Florence, which plies principally between the upper river land- ings. The flames were first sighted by the engineer, Frank Passeno. He called for as- sistance loudly, and was answered by his brother, Officer Passeno, who was patrolling the Water street beat at the time. The fire was first attacked by the two men with pails of all sizes. Wharf hands soon came up and increased the fighting force's power. It was seen before the flames had been worked upon for any length of time that they could be subdued without unusual dith- cutly, and the fire department was not sum- moned. The damage to the steamer is not serious. The fire caught from thé boiler. The Florence is an old boat. Real Estate. Joseph A. Simmons yesterday sold lot 46, Ashford’s sub of square 112, to Franklin P. Serrin; lot 50 to Edward T. Fenwick, and lot 48 to Bishop T. Fenwick.

That old acquaintance of the police, John, alias PUlly Caton, who has exhausted nearly the entire category of offenses against the community, has started to review what has been gone over. Yesterday he was arrested for hurling fearful threats at Edith John- son, a neighbor, causing her blood to rur cold, her heart to stop beating and h: frame to quiver with. fright. Chevy Chase Club, About November 15 the Chevy Chase hunters will begin their equestrian sport. The programs that have been mapped cut informaily for the coming season will give many diversions over last year. A feature of all the club hunts will be the club dances following. The Chevy Chase events have always been recognized by society, and so- ciety is now to share more practically in the events. A handsome big dancing hall has been erected to the north of the club house, and here often throughout the winter terpsichore will veign. Canal News.

A decision has been rendered by Justice of the Peace Scott of particular interest and importance to members of the order of Odd Fellows. The question at issue was what was meant by the term “orphan,” in the matter of death benefits payable by the lodges. The suit before Justice Scott was one brought by Frances 8. Boland against James T, Petty and others, representatives of Eastern Lodge, No. 7, 1. O. O. F., to te- cover $70 death benefits due her cn the death of her father, who was a member of the lodge. Payment had been refused her by the lodge on the ground that she was not an orphan within the meaning of the word In section 5, article 8, of the lodge’s by-laws. Upon her appeal to the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia the decision of East- ern Lodge, No. 7, was reversed and pay- ment directed, whereupon the lodge appeal- ed to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the United States, which reversed the decisioa of the District Grand Lodge. The District Grand Lodge held that the word “orphan,” as used in the by-la means very nearly the same as “children, whether minors or not, whether dependent or not, and that Eastern Lodge, No. 7, was under obligations to pay the beneflt upon proof that Frances Boland was the orphan daughter of the deceased member. The Sovereign Grand Lodge, on the other hand, maintained that the child must be a minor or dependent. Justice Scott decided in favor of Miss Boland, basing his decision upon a_ fact which was not before the Sovereign Grand Lodge, namely, that the father was Gepen- dent upon the clatmant during the latter years of his life and that she urged him to remain with her when he went to the home provided by the Odd Fellow: It is understood that the lodge will appeal from Justice Scott's decision. ee Overcome by Gas. Lucy Johnson, a colored domestic in the employ of th: Columbia Hotel, northwest corner of 10th and E streets, was over- come by gas this morning. When found ber body was still warm and prompt ef- forts were made by Dr. Church of the Emergency Hospital, who was summoned at 9 o'clock to resuscitate her. It seems that repairing is going on in the house, which caused a leak in the gas plpe, and a strong odor of gas was noticed last night in the rooms. The Johnson woman was told not to close her bed room door, but it 1s supposed that it blew shut in the night. Shortly before 9 o'clock this morning the mother of the proprietor noticing that the Johnson woman had not put in an appear- ance knocked at her door. Upon receiving no reply she burst open the door and saw the apparently lifeless body of the woman in bed. Assistance was immediately sum- moned. The woman regained consciousness shortly after the arrival of the physician, and then improved raptdly. Dr. Church did not consider It necessary to have her re- moved to the hospital. —_ OBrien Died From His Injurtes. James A. O'Brien, the painter who, in company with a fellow workman, was pre- cipitated from a scaffold at 1812 I street northwest yesterday morning, died last evening about 7 o'clock at the Emergency Hospital as a result of his injuries. — Saiety Fenders. ‘The Commissioners have examined a model of a car fender constructed on a new principle. The fender is designed to offer a large and elastic surface to any object com- ing in contact with it. It extends the en- tire width of the car, and from the ground to’ the height of an ordinary man. ‘The in- ventors are Secretary Tindall of the Com- missioners’ office, J. W. P. Taylor and Daniel Curry. The mechanism and workin of the machine were explained by Mr. Tay lor, who is an expert machimst and a suc- cessful inventor, Mr. George T.

Parmenter has equipped grip car No. 234 (green) of the avenue line with his automatic car fender,and it is now running in its regular place, immediately in front of No. 201, which {s equipped with the E. J. Smith car fender, and foilowing this is grip car No. 218, equipped with the 3d avenue fender. THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. Board of Control Transacts Some Im- portant Business.

Matters in That Section Which They Think Need Attention. A brief meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citi- zens’ Association was held last evening in the Congregational Church of the village. The principal matter discussed was that of the lack of drainage at the village pub- lic school. The unsanitary condition aris- ing from the want of a sewer along Grant end 15th streets was declared to be the greatest nuisance In Mt. Pleasant. It was pointed out that the filth collects on Grant, Pine and 15th streets in such quantities as to endanger the health of the whole village. ‘The committee on sewers was instructed to aguin call the attention of the health office to thes matter, and to urge the Dis- trict. Commissioners to sewer the streets at the earliest practicable day. The com- mittee on streets was instructed to request the Commissioners to extend School street through to Kenesaw avenue at once. The association also decided to ask the Commissioners to change the name of the new school from “Buchanan” to “Mt. Pleasant,” and the committee on schools Was directed to ask the Commissioners to suspend the work of fitting the new school house with the Smead system of heating and hot air evaporation of the refuse con- nected with the school, pending investigs tion as to its unhealthiness, and to request the substitution of steam or water heating if the investigation proved unsatisfactory. After Dr. Aaron Baldwin had been elected to membership and the constitution amen: ed so as to allow owners of unimproved real estate to become members and permit members to be represented by relatives at the association meetings, the association adjourned until the first Wednesday in December. * <—>——__- SOME POLICE COURT CASEs, ‘The Darker S| of Life Before the Judge Silas Thomas and Evgene Brown, young colored men, were two of the eighteen pris- oners who occupied the Police Court cells this morning. Congregating on the side- walk and indulging in profane language Policeman ‘The affair happened om 25th street Sunday night, and ducing a fight a stone was thrown through Mr. Scanlon’s window. ‘There was some trouble on the street, said one of the prisoners, “ard I had some words with a friend. The other fellow's mother shouted, ‘Police,’ but 1 didn’t throw any stones.” “Neither did I,” said the other defendant. “I was only looking on when the others were fighting.” But the court believed the policeman, and fined the prisoners $5 each. William Brown was the name given by a young man arrested in Twining City. He belongs in Norfolk, so he says, but he was unable to give any excuse for being here. “For several days he has been hanging about Twining City and about the railroad yards,” said Policeman Marr. “He been begging, and says he has no home. He was given ten days. John Robinson, a young negro, who at- tevded a dance on -2 street last night, thought he could violate the law as well as the keepers of some of the “dives” in that section, and not get arrested, but Po- liceman Boyce, who came along, fooled him. John was loud and profane, accord- ing to the evidence of the policeman, and his counsel attempted to convince the court that the noise committed in such a place was rot an offense, but Judge Kimball was not easily convinced that way. While the judge did not say so in so many words, he probably thought that even the promoters gf dances in this section were entitled to some protection, and fined John $10 or thirty days. Bat Morarity came here a few wecks ago a perfect stranger, but his treatment on the farm was such that he has now be- come a resident. Released from the work house Monday, he scon found a companion in the person of William Mansfield, and the two homeless men were found enjoying a campfire on the line of the railroad between Anacostia and Benning last evening. “Are you there, Morlarity?” was what Sergt. Kirby felt like singing to him, and had he done so bat would undoubtedly have erswered, “I am.” But the sergeant thought there was no time for music, although the men made no effort_to escape. They seemed glad that the offcer had visited their camp and taken them cut of the wet weather. Judge Kimball gave them ten days. —_—_—>- Fell From a Cable Car. Gilbert Parker, a colored man sixty-three years of age, fell from a cable car at the corner of 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue about 7 o'clock last evening. He was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where it was learned that Parker's ieft arm was badly broken and lacerated. dam- putation was necessary. was the charge against them. O'Donoghue complained against them. MR. FAIRCHILD ELECTED. A Washington Boyt Comes Back to Congress From New York. Washington has norchance to elect a member of Corgresai direct from the peoplé of the District, but the tide of political fortune turned Tuesday toward the dis- franchised in a gratifying manner. As a result, it is certains that Washington will have in the Fifty-fourth Congress a mem- ber who knows the eity, who has lived among its people, who-was educated here, and who believes in} Washington as one of the most glorious places in the world. This is Mr. Ben. L. Fairchild, who was Tues- ay chosen fer Congress ‘by the good peo- ple of the sixteenth district of New York. Mention of Mr. Fairehild’s candidacy has already been made in ‘The Star, with a note of the fact that he lived here during most of his life, and graduated from the Columbian Law’ School. For a few years he has been practicing law in New York city and living at Pelhamviile, N. in. West Chester count; The sixteenth New York js usually a strong democratic dis- trict. It was carried in 1802 by Mr. Wm. Ryan, Mr. Fairchild’s opponent in this elec- tion, by 4,500 majority, The extent of the success of this young Washingtonian will be seen from the following telegram, which w sent to The Star this morning by his brother: “Sixteenth congressional — Fairchild, from 7,000 to 8,000. Victor This indicates a repablican gain of from 11,500 to 12,54 votés, Mr. Fairchild at- tracted national attention during his can- vass by a most artistic folder that he scat- tered through his district. It presented to voters the question: “Under which flag do you vote?" and iliustrated the significance of the query by displaying an Ameri flag run to the masthead, lined with pa- triotic sentiments, opposed by a black flag with the shibboleths of the eneff® run down. Under the American flag was the picture of an eagle, and beneath the black pennant, which lifted from the page, crouched the figure of a tiger. It is said that this folder, which was drawn by Mr. John F. Fairchild, a graduate of the Wash- ington High School, won for the republican candidate many hundreds of votes. —__ AMUSEMENTS, “St. Paul” by the Choral Society.—The first performance by the Washington Cho- ral Society this season drew to Convention Hall last night an audience of over 4 people, all of whom were demonstrativ: their satisfaction of the excellent mai in which Meadelssohn'’s oratorio of - Paul” was presented. This work is a union of dramatic and devotional elements, and affords more scope for chorus work than anything that the society has yet done. It by was selected for the first concert this year | because it was believed that the task of preparing an oratorio would excite ad tional interest in the members and urge a more prompt and regular attendance than has been usual at the beginning of a se son. This proved to be a fact, and the good work of the society last night testified to the diligence of the rehearsals. Only once or twice was there any uncertainty in the choruses, and in some of them the test of precision was quite severe. The society sang in excellent tune and time and its work was applauded constantly. Prof. Josef Kaspar, the director, had his vocal force weil in hand, and while the orchestra at times was not all that it should have been, it did very well after but one rehes sal. The soloists were all satisfacto! Miss Lillian Blauvelt’ was heard to much better advantage than when she sang in “The Creation” last spring. ‘Then her weakness was in thesrecitative and in a failure to comprehend the spirit of the work she was interpreting. No such fault could be found lastonight. Nearly all her numbers were recitative, but she delivered the tones with proper expression and her enunciation was clear and distinct. She captured her audience with her opening phrase, and the interest increased until she was obliged to repeat the arioso “I will sing of Thy great mercies,” so enthusiastic was the applause. Anton Schott sang the tenor score, and delivered many of his re: tatives with real dramatic fervor. He was obliged to repeat his aria “Be Thou faith- ful unto death.” Dr. Carl Dufft was the bass soloist, taking the place of Mr. Emii Fischer, who was prevented from appearing on account of a threat affection. Dr. Dufft came here a stranger, and there was a nat- ural feeling of disappointment at his being a substitute, but he proved himself a thor- ough artist, singing with great feeling and a true conception of the spirit of the work. He sang the entire role with great nice and finish, and deserves only the warme praise. The contralto was given but number, but in that single opportunity M Florence Stidham delighted the audie and showed that Washington has at le one oratorio sin She delivered he tative in excellent style, and in the a that followed she was artistic and eff She fully deserved the emphatic applau she received. The success of the first con- cert augurs well for the prospects of the Choral Soclety for the whole season. Tim Murphy's New Play.—First nighters are promised another novelty this week in the production at the Academy of Music Friday evening of the original satirical comedy, “Alimony,” in three , by Her- bert Hall Winslow, written expressly for Comedians Tim Murphy and Bugene Can- field, As suggested by the title, the com- edy satirizes the divorce laws, ‘and those who have been fortunate enough to witness the rehearsals are enthusiastic over it. In this comedy the comedians will be given full scope, not only as ac.ors, but as spe cialists as well, and new music and catchy pleasantries are promised addition to in funny lines and rattling situations. The plot concerns the adventures of Commodore Joshua Towline of the Erie canal, retired, who is a brusque but susceptible old boy, but of Puritanical ideas concerning the sub- ject of divorce. His daughter Daffodil is married to Vanderheyden Knickerbocker. They make a start overland for California on pleasure, ut the commodore, having been induced to seek some land’ spec’ tions in Dakota, stops over at the village of Gayv' where are introduced the va- rious char y. ‘The comedy will be produced under the stage direction of Mr. Percy Winter.

What the Board of Trade Committee Says on the Subject. At a meeting of the committee on bridges of the board of trade, held yesterday after- noon, a report was discussed which will be presented at the meeting of the board Monday evening. The report considers at some length the question of the erection of new bridges between the Long and Aqueduct bridges. It is the judgment of the committee that no bridge should be bailt within that distance, except the pro- pored memorial bridge, unless it be of such design as not to interfere in any way with the free navigation of the river. The committee will report that in their pinion a site somewhere above Georgetown is the place for any steam railroad bridge to be constructed in the future. The use of a part of the Aqueduct bridge for street railroads officered by citizens of the Dis- trict will also be favored.
