AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Tenleytown Wants Better Sewerage Facili- ties and Sanitary Reforms. Death of a Man Who Claimed Large Estates—Other Local News of General Interest. The necessity of sewerage facilities at Tenleytown is now so apparent to the people there that the question is one of deepest concern. A water main has of late been laid and is now being tapped. This multiplies the already urgent need of underground pipes or conduits to carry off the impurities consequent thereto. Dr. E. W. Slaymaker says that the increased surface impurities will so contaminate the wells that the town will soon become un- fit to live in. The population of the place is increasing so rapidly and the houses becoming so bunched that the refuse mat- ter, which, under the present conditions, must be thrown about the premises, will a the health and the lives of the peo- fe. Pithe sewerage plan as proposed and mapped out by Mr. Glover they consider the most practicable.

Public Printer Benedict Recognizes Merit in His Men, Public Printer Benedict has a way of doing things that increase the esteem and popularity of those associated with him in the great government workshop. The fore- men in the various branches of the print- ing office follow a custom of recognizing the merit of employes by designating those who have the best records during a stated period “honor men. Last week Foreman Bergin paid this deserved compliment to Messrs. Joseph W. McCann of New York, C. W. Radiey of New York, George H. Hayden of Alexandria, Va.; O. P. Rumley of New Jersey, W. F. Johnson of Indiana, William Sipes’ of Pennsylvania, W. F. O'Brien of Michigan and E. C. Crump of Richmond, Va. When Mr. Benedict was informed of this he sent for the printers, and when they assembled in his office made them a little speech, eomplimenting them upon the quantity, character and accuracy of their work and expressing his gratitica- tion at the splendid records they had made. Mr. Crump replied on behalf of his com- anions and himself and modestly promised that they would try to keep the honor places they had won. —_.___ THE MORTON CLUB.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: There 1s one little matter in which some- thing shquld be done to help the suffering public, viz., the ventilation of street cars, herdics and other public conveyances. Why cannot the Commissioners order that | a complete change of air be made in these | vehicles, say, after each trip? I think the herdies ‘particularly need attention in this regard. Apart from the discomfort of in-j| haling the unwholesome alr with which one of these vehicles gets filled, it ts very likely that disease germs are often trans- Bitted in this way.

Tenleytown proper, which is that portion of the place lying about St. Anne's Church, could easily connect with this sewer and kee; herself always free of impure waters. The route of the sewer has a gradual fall toward the river. Bought a Shipyard. Mr. G. L. Nicholson, general manager of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and Mr. Wm. T. Hassett of Four Locks, a canal supervisor, have bought the Mitchell & Dawson boat yard at Hancock and will fit it up for the construction of boats dur- ing the winter months. The old yard has not been in operation for some ume. Claimed Estates. News has been received here of the death, in Chicago, of Samuel B. Edmonston, formerly of this place, son of Capt. Edward Edmonston and for many years a litigant in various courts of Maryland and Scotland. His death occurred in a hospital, unexpect- edly. In Scotland Mr. Edmonston claimed the property known as the estate of the Duke of Argyle, now said to be in the pos- session of the heirs of Jay Gould. A large part of Georgetown was also claimed by Mr. Edmonston. In support of his various claims he had great quantities of legal Papers gathered from numerous sources. In the interest of his Scottish claim de- ceased made four or five trips to Scotland. He derived his right to the property through the McGregors of Scotland, whose estate was confiscated by the Duke of Ar- syle for alleged offenses. Officers Elected. The representatives of the Georgetown branch of the Associated Charities have elected the following officers for the new year: F. L. Moore, president; Thos. H. Looker, vice president; Jos. W. Davis, sec- retary, and J. G. Waters, treasurer. Mr. B. T. Janney was elected delegate to the central office. Owing to an expected absence from town, Mr. Looker tendered bis resignation as vice president, but it was not accepted. Notes, There is a movement among the devotees of Athletics at Georgetawn College looking to the promotion of boating on the Poto- mac, and it is probable that next summer will see the old university creditably repre- sented on the water. The Misses Duniap of 31st and Q streets will give a tea on Wednesday, from 5 to 7. Mr. Thos. Knowles is lying: ill at his home on Market street. ———___ Fiftieth Anniversary. Rev. Dr. Alexander Crummell, rector of St. Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Church, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary yester- day of his entrance into the ministry. At the morning service he preached an elo- quent sermon on “The Shades and Lights of Fifty Years’ Ministrty.” | Dr. Crummell reviewed his long term of service and nar- rated some reminiscences of distinguished prelates. He also told in part the story of his missionary labors on the west coast of Africa, and incidentally referred to his ex- periences in England. At the evening serv- ice addresses were made by Rev. George F. Bragg, rector of St. James’ Church, Baltimore, and Rev. W. Mitchell of St Mary’s Chapel, St. John’s parish, Washing- ton, Each of ‘these prelates dwelt on the honorable services to God rendered by Dr. Crummell. They told of the progress of the colored race in matters spiritual and temporal.

Van Meter occupied the chair at the regular meeting held Saturday night by the Interstate Democratic associ- ation. The announcement board of the’ as- sociation was embellished with over 200 names of delinquent members, together with the amounts owed by each. After considerable discussion, a resolution was adopted requesting Congress to extend to printers, bookbinders and all other skilled mechanics in government employ the same ratio of wages as those paid to pressmen, as provided by the bill recently passed for the restoration of the wages of the press- men. Several members also indulged in a repe- tition of the vigorous demands for the yros- ecution of a strong fight against Post- master Willett’s confirmation on account of his appointment of Mr. Sherwood, but were brought to consider another state of affairs by the announcement that many democrats employed at the navy yard had recently been discharged through the in- fluence of their republican superior officers. A committee was appointed to call on Sec- retexy Herbert and lay the matter before m. It was decided that Andrew Jackson day, January 8, would be celebrated with a mu- sical and literary entertainment, instead of the grand ball previously contemplated, and the meesing adjourned after the an- nouncement that a Senator and a Repre- sentative would address the next one was made, —_>__— LET THE OWLS ALONE. Protests Against Unlawful and Bar- barous Sheoting on a Public Street. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice two accounts of policemen en- deavoring to shoot owls which were killing sparrows in this city, and there is record of success in one case. Against this prac- tice 1 protest in the strongest manner. In- stead of being killed, the owls ought to be encouraged to continue their good work, for if there ever was an infernal nuisance without one redeeming trait it is the Eng- lish spartow. ‘hey have damaged me to the amount of a hundred dollars, by build- ing their nests in my down spouts and gutters, filling up the down spouts and traps at the bottom, causing the pipes to treeze and burst, and thereby causing the water to soak through the walls, rendering them damp, destroying the papering and discoloring the walls. They have driven away all our native songsters, and keep our porches, window caps and buildings generally befouled with their droppings, and they ought to be exterminated. How any man could have been such an {diot as to introduce them into this country I cannot understand, for their habits were well known, not only in England, but on the continent. In Germany they have long been considered such a nuisance that a reward is paid for killing them. Here a person is fined $5 for it. Besides, 1 would like to know by what authority a policeman can discharge a gun in the streets. It is prohibited by law, and any person who does it anywhere in the city limits is Hable to arrest and fine. It seems to me that Col. Moore should in- struct his men to obey the law, and set an example for others, instead of violating it, especially in such a cause. If they want to exhibit their skill at shooting birds, let them shoot the spar- rows, and not the owls engaged in the good work of ridding us of these torments. A CITIZEN. December 7, 1804. — AMUSEMENTS. The Saengerbund Concert.—The first con- cert this season by the WashingtomBaenger- bund, which took place at the Academy of Music last night, was in every way a suc- cess. The bund was never in better voice and never sang with better tone or expres- sion, They showed the result of careful rehearsal and excellent training by their director, Mr. Wm. Waldecker, on whom rested the responsibility, and to whose abil- ity and judgment is due the credit of the entire concert. The number in which the bund showed to best advantage was “Die Linde,” which was given with a delicacy of phrasing that has not been heard by a male chorus since the days of the original Choral Society. An orchestra of twenty- five pieces played three numbers effective- ly—Lortzing’s Fest overture, Hiller’s sere- nade and Schubert's March Militaire—and accompanied thg bund in two numbers, in both of which there were baritone solos; the first, one of Mendelssohn's songs, was sung by Mr. Ferdinanad Leimer, and the second, Gernsheim’s “Salamis,” by Mr. J. J. Fischer, both of whom did well. The solo- ists were Miss Lotta Mills, pianist; Miss Mae Whitesell, soprano, and Mr. ‘Perry Turpin, Miss Mills’ first number included Rubinstein’s “Barcarolle’ and a Leschi- tizky mazurka, and in both the excellent impression she created on her appearance with the Seidl Orchestra was confirmed. She has a splendid technique and plays with true artistic expression and finish. She was recalled twice after this number, but declined to repeat, although she played again after her second number,which was a theme and variations by Rameau. Miss Whitesei! sang Delibes’ “Maid of Cadiz,” and as an encore gave the ballad, “The Sweetest Story,” with charming effect. Mr. Turpin sang an aria from “Don Giovanni” im such a manner as to surprise even those who had recognized his excellence as a choir singer. His voice is of excellent quality and its fiexibility 1s remarkable. The aria hes many difficult florid passages, which were easily and artistically accom- plished, Miss Whitesell and Mr. Turpin sang Gorhing-Thomas’ duet, “'Neath the in such a manner as to elicit an encore. The success of this first pay enter- tainment of the Saengerbund will undoubt- edly cause the same course to be pursued during the remainder of the season. Peabody Institute.—Thos. Wm. | Rhys- Davids, professor of Pali and Buddhistic literature in University College, London, will deliver four lectures in the large hall of the Peabody Institute, Baltimore, on ‘Tuesday and Thursday evenings, the first taking place tomorrow night, when his sub- ject will be, “On Religious Teachers and their Teachings in India and in the West.” Mr. Davids is said to be one of the best informed men in his particular line of study and to be an extremely interesting lecturer.

Simpson, sec- retary of the People’s Fire Insurance Com- pany of this city,scommunicated with the Commissioners, requesting them to make an examination of the circumstances which attended the delay in the fire en- gines reaching the tire at Phillips & Juene- mann’s wood and»coal yard on the night of the 2th ultimo, In his letter he says it was nearly a half hour after an attempted alarm was turned in before any engine appeared on the ground, and then only after a messenger went to the engine house. Chief Belt, to whom the matter was referred, has made a report on the matter, in which he says that engine com- pany No. 3 responded to that fire on a local alarm, and that the superintendent of sewers was the first to inform him of the fire. He immediately responded, and went to box 612, the nearest to the scene of the fire, and there met Acting Sergeant Pear- son, who stated in reply to a question that he had been trying to get in an alarm for half an hour. Chief Belt said he then ordered him to turn in the alarm from the patrol box, and simultaneously sent one of his men to notify the fire alarm. office so that there would be no mistake. He states further that engine company No. 3 responded to the fire eight minutes before the local was sounded by Private Frazier, turning the company out on the big light. He says in his report that after the fire a number of property owners in the im- mediate neighborhood congratulated the fire department on the good and efficient work of the firemen. The Commissioners have approved the report, and attach no blame to the department. naar SaaS: The Cotton Case.
